You won't gain much by going FA24-90 which is not that fast either. If you must have zoom, conisder the affordable Tamron SP 28-75/2.8. Or better yet, get a FA35/2. Yours regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan hey guys, i need some advice, and i've noticed little hesitancy on the part o

It appears that B&H has two used Pentax 28-70/2.8s right now. Vic If you need speed, you will need to spend the $$ on a constant aperture 24/28-70/75/80 f2.8. Tokina's 28-80 is extremely sharp. Tamron's new 28-75 has been tested to be very sharp, and is less expensive. Sometimes KEH has used F
